Air force Quote by Gen. R. R. Fogelman
““The Air Force is not a social actions agency. The Air Force exists to fight and win wars. That's our core expertise; it is what allows us to be called professionals. We are entrusted with the security of our Nation. The tools of our trade are lethal, and we engage in operations that involve much national treasure and risk to human life. Because of what we do, our standards must be higher than those of society at large. The American public expects it of us and properly so. In the end, we earn the respect and trust of the American people because of the professionalism and integrity we demonstrate.””
